‘I’m With Perv!’: New York Papers Blast Trump’s Support For Roy Moore With Epic Matching Covers

Two New York newspapers are slamming president Trump for supporting accused child molester and Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore in the wake of explosive sexual misconduct allegations against him.

In nearly matching front-page headlines on Friday, the New York Post and the New York Daily News – both known for their punchy style – declared Trump as “with” a “perv” in the Alabama Senate race.

“I’m With The Perv!” the New York Post declared in bold letters.

“I’m With Perv,” the Daily News wrote alongside photos of Trump and Moore.

Numerous women have come forward in recent weeks to accuse Moore of pursuing sexual and romantic relations with them when they were teenagers and he was in his 30s. One of the accusers was 14-years-old at the time of an alleged encounter with Moore, who was 32 at the time.
Moore has vehemently denied most of the allegations, and has resisted calls by dozens of GOP officials across the country to withdraw from the Senate race.

After days of remaining relatively silent on the matter, Trump defended Moore on Tuesday, emphasizing the candidate’s denial of the allegations and saying that “we don’t need a liberal person” in the Senate, referring to Moore’s Democratic opponent Doug Jones.

Since the allegations against Moore surfaced, Jones has seen a boost in public polls, turning a race long considered safe for the GOP into a competitive showdown. The Alabama special election is set for Dec. 12.
